USC rained out on Thursday, but Trojans gain on NCAA Tournament bubble
The USC Trojans baseball team did not play on Thursday night. Rain washed out USC’s game in Tucson against the Arizona Wildcats. The two teams will play a split doubleheader on Friday, with Game 1 at 1 p.m. Pacific time and Game 2 at 6 p.m.
This doesn’t mean, however, that Thursday was free of developments in the Trojans’ pursuit of an NCAA Tournament berth. The Trojans weren’t playing, but they had a chance to watch the scoreboard and see what nearby bubble teams were doing. Let’s give you a look at some of the most important results from Thursday night, as the college baseball season heads into a hugely important Friday across the country:
OKLAHOMA LOSES
Speaking of @OSUBaseball, the #Pokes overwhelmed rival Oklahoma tonight, 13-2. Colin Brueggemann had two homers and five RBIs, and Evan O'Toole was terrific out of the bullpen with five shutout. Nolan McLean allowed 1 R in 3 IP. https://t.co/Jof8316XaC

TEXAS A&M LOSES
A&M had an 8-7 lead in the ninth and gave up the tying run on a wild pitch with two outs, followed by an Amani Larry two-run bomb for @HailStateBB. Aggies will need to win the next two, or go on a massive run in Hoover to make the NCAA tournament. https://t.co/e8NHijcv7X
